Subject:Correction: ISO anti-sway bar DROP LINK for 1983 Vanagon Westy
From:Jim Felder
Date:Tue, 11 Jul 2017 17:32:43 +0000

Correction: What is broken on my car is the drop link, not the anti-sway
bar. I need a passenger side drop link only. For older stamped steel 2WD
suspension, not cast.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion,

Jim
